I rarely use word processors, but I have heard good things about
Klyx.

You may also want to take a look at AbiWord.  Last week, I installed
Gnome 1.2 from Helix Code (http://www.helixcode.com/gethelix.php3) and
AbiWord came with it.  Overall, I'm very impressed with this Gnome
release.  (Though I haven't done anything with AbiWord aside from
starting it up to see what it looks like.)
